Seattle’s First Indoor Pickleball Center: Side Out Pickleball Centers has taken a bold step forward, launching Seattle’s first dedicated indoor pickleball facility. Located in Mukilteo near Paine Field, the eight-court venue offers a state-of-the-art experience tailored to pickleball players. With private court reservations, open play-by-ability, tournaments, and instructional clinics, Side Out Mukilteo caters to players of all levels. Already, over 350 members have signed up, and interest continues to climb. Co-founding partner Dale Garnett acknowledged the growing demand.
“It’s hard to believe the Seattle metro area hasn’t had a dedicated indoor pickleball-exclusive facility until now. The demand is huge. Our memberships are nearly sold out. Our team is passionate about the game and this is just the start of what we plan to be a number of championship caliber pickleball facilities across the Northwest and beyond.” – (Dale Garnett)
South Seattle Facility Set to Be a Game Changer
The company isn’t stopping there. Construction has begun on the Side Out Tsunami Pickleball Center in South Seattle’s Rainier Beach neighborhood. Once completed in 2025, the 98,577-square-foot facility will house 27 indoor courts, including championship-grade courts with live broadcast capabilities. Set to become the largest pickleball center in Washington State, the complex aims to host high-profile tournaments like PPA and USA Pickleball events.
The Seattle Tsunami, a National Pickleball League (NPL) team, will call the facility home, hosting practices, tournaments, and player clinics.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Side Out Pickleball Centers as we continue to grow Seattle Tsunami’s presence in the National Pickleball League and the Pacific Northwest. Their top tier facilities and commitment to the sport perfectly align with our mission to inspire and elevate pickleball players across all levels.” – (Stephan Keller, team owner)
A Community Partnership with Vision
Partnering with Prologis, a leader in logistics real estate, Side Out is building more than just courts—it’s creating a hub for pickleball excellence. Rick Kolpa of Prologis highlighted the broader mission.
“We are working closely with Side Out Pickleball Centers to deliver a space that will support their business operations. We have long been part of the Seattle community, providing modern and sustainable logistics facilities to our valued customers operating in Seattle who need to manage and grow their businesses.” – (Rick Kolpa)
The Vision for Pickleball’s Future
With Washington’s state sport rapidly gaining momentum, Side Out Pickleball Centers has its eyes on expanding nationally.
“There’s a reason pickleball is the official Washington state sport and the fastest growing sport in the country. We relish the opportunity to provide increased access to everyone and continue growing this game we all love with the best courts, lighting, instruction, retail and programming anywhere.” – (Frank Espinoza)
The Mukilteo facility is operational, while the South Seattle complex aims for a Q2 2025 launch, ensuring Side Out’s presence becomes synonymous with pickleball’s growing popularity.
